ÖBB-Infrastruktur has invested more than 20 million Euros in the last ten years in noise abatement measures. 900 kilometres of sound insulation walls along our rail routes bring the residents more peace and quiet and improve their quality of life. Both in new builds and in extending routes, sound measures are always included as components in the planning of any project. On existing rail routes ÖBB-Infrastruktur pursues the objective of efficient noise abatement, in conjunction with State authorities and urban and rural municipalities.
Quiet tracks
ÖBB moves about 267 million passengers and more than 105 million tons of goods on Austria's rails every year. Smooth cooperation is always top priority - on the platform, in the train and along the lines.
Information for residents
We keep our facilities in perfect condition - round the clock, seven days a week. However, the bulk of our work is done at night and at the weekend. This can cause construction noise. We are aware of this and give our residents specific notification.
Here is a quick and easy link to information on construction projects and maintenance works in your neighbourhood.
